This day was all kinds of disappointing for young pitchers showing promise.  You'll see what I'm talking about in a moment, but first let's discuss premo letdown Eduardo Rodriguez who put up yet another atrocious outing with 5.0 IP, 8 ER, 9 Hits, 1 BB, 2 Ks.  The Marlins managed to get 10 runs in the sixth inning, four of which were credited to .EDU.  Outside of a solo blast from Dee Gordon - how he did that is beyond meErod was once again Singled Out and I'm fed up with it.  I've been defending him more than the next guy because I know he will be great...someday.  As for now, clearly he's going to have more bumps in the road before he graduates and can be called Dr. Eddie.  Sadly, it looks like that won't happen until at least 2016, and we have to drop Eddie and keep him dropped through whatever rebounds he may have through the rest of the season.  He'll be heading to the 50s on Monday and he's lucky I'm not dropping him further.

Let’s see what every other SP did yesterday:
